UNIS MEAL PLAN

In 2023-24 the Junior School will offer a comprehensive School Meal Plan for our students from J1 to J4. This service provides balanced, nutritious meals to support our students’ learning and development. More information on how to register for the meal plan is provided below. Note that Meal Plans are 100% optional.

For the upcoming school year, after comprehensive review and collaboration with our food service team and parent representatives, we are implementing a shift in policy for our Pre-K and JA students regarding the School Meal Plan. It will now commence from Grade 1 onwards. For our Pre-K and JA students, we request that families provide a lunch for their children from home.

​This decision stems from our experience over the past three years when the meal plan was made available to our JA students. We observed that a number of students were not consuming adequate amounts of food from the meal plan and often found them sensitive to peers who were eating lunch prepared at home. We believe this adjustment will contribute positively to the well-being of all of our youngest learners, fostering healthier eating habits and allowing families to ensure that their growing child has a meal tailored to their individual needs and preferences.

Note that this shift is a return to the school’s earlier policy and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation. We are committed to continually creating a conducive learning environment that prioritizes student health and happiness.

Pricing for the 2023-24 school year will be announced during the summer. 

For now, please review the menu options with the 2022-23 pricing so you can get an idea:
